The Most Enraging, Heartbreaking Moments Of Britney's Conservatorship Testimony

For the first time, Britney Spears is speaking out about her conservatorship, and her statement is filled with trauma and abusehas lived under a conservatorship—a legal agreement that allows the court system to assign the daily management of someone to a caregiver. Usually put in place for those who are too ill to care for themselves, Spears is arguing that the one her father has over her is being used to exploit and control her.

Spears began her statement with a huge bomb: she was forced to work, whether she wanted to or not. Specifically, she legally bullied to tour in 2018 and to do four years of performances in Vegas. She didn’t believe she had any recourse because of the conservatorship. Next, she described how her dad sent her away to a “rehab program” that even more completely stripped her of her freedom.

“And that’s why I’m telling you this again two years later,” she said. “After I’ve lied and told the whole world ‘I’m OK and I’m happy.’ It’s a lie. I thought I just maybe if I said that enough maybe I might become happy, because I’ve been in denial. I’ve been in shock. I am traumatized. You know, fake it till you make it. But now I’m telling you the truth, OK? I’m not happy. I can’t sleep. I’m so angry it’s insane. And I’m depressed. I cry every day.

“I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive, and that we can sit here all day and say oh, conservatorships are here to help people. But ma’am, there is a thousand conservatorships that are abusive as well.” Over and over again, Spears simply asked for people to hear her—to be heard—and for people to believe what she’s saying.

This would never have been allowed for a male child star.
